Subject: [PATCH] smb: client: fix sbflags initialization
Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 16:07:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306150717.483742-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
The newly introduced variable is initialized in an #ifdef block
but used outside of it, leading to undefined behavior when
CONFIG_CIFS_ALLOW_INSECURE_LEGACY is disabled:
fs/smb/client/dir.c:417:9: error: variable 'sbflags' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
417 | if (sbflags & CIFS_MOUNT_DYNPERM)
| ^~~~~~~
Move the initialization into the declaration, the same way as the
other similar function do it.
Fixes: 4fc3a433c139 ("smb: client: use atomic_t for mnt_cifs_flags")
